As with any successful community effort, the fall NeighborWoods in Rochester planting was a collaborative effort and could not have been done without the help of a large team.

The majority of the 2006 fall NeighborWoods Planting was funded by the City of Rochester. Rochester Public Utilities also gave a large portion of money to fund the planting. Our thanks to both for caring about Rochester's urban forest!
